It’s nearly race day! The Boston Marathon is on Monday, April 20th, and REquipement is thrilled to rally support for our Bank of America Charity Program racers. Join us to cheer our athletes up Heartbreak Hill.
Our team is running in honor of marathon legend Bob Hall and raising funds to ensure more Massachusetts residents gain access to the durable medical equipment and assistive technology they need.
REquipment CEO Adriana Mallozzi, REquipment staff members, and volunteers from Northeastern University will be giving t-shirts away at the green tent at the crosswalk between Centre Street and Commonwealth Avenue in Newton (use Heartbreak Hill Running Company as landmark). Closest T-stop is Newton Center. Help us build our cheering squad.
REquipment Racers are stoked for Bob Hall’s legacy, for our reuse cause, and they are just plain awesome:
